On a movie set the place where 'extras' are corralled until their scene or scenes Are called. As a general rule extra scenes are shot earlier in the production day due to the
logistics of the situation ; ie number of
extras involved meal coverage and base pay per extra if applicable. In large production cities such as la atlanta and New York extras are handled by extras casting. In smaller markets the production team will hold a general
call in the city where the film will be shot.in advance of the beginning of principal photography.
We were
on set as
extras for 11 hours in the. Holding area. For a set up that took 2 hours. At least we got meal compensation plus a small
stipend for the day.
